It seems we stood and talked
Like this before
Why can't I remember
Did we share something more

I must have loved you
Once upon a time
Amnesia has come
And clouded my mind

Was there a fire burning
Or were there tears
Did I ever whisper
Words of love in your ear

I can't go on
Not knowing my own name
I only have
This curse of love to blame

What have I done to deserve this
Can't find my love if I can't find myself
I'm imprisoned by amnesia
And I can't break the spell

The love of days gone past
Is haunting me
Your face looks so familiar
Who can you be

This is the price
That I have to pay
That's why I cry
Cry out for yesterday

What have I done to deserve this
Can't find my love if I can't find myself
I'm imprisoned by amnesia
And I can't break the spell

It seems we stood and talked
Like this before
Why can't I remember
Did we share something more

I must have loved you
Once upon a time
Amnesia has come
And clouded my mind

What have I done to deserve this
Can't find my love if I can't find myself
I'm imprisoned by amnesia
And I can't break the spell

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
